If your DMV does not keep better records than the one in CA, you won't get
much from them- they only go back three years, and all the CA DMV gave me
was the name of the previous owner and the date he last registered the car,
that's it... I knew more than that, as I obviously knew the address and the
phone number of the seller!
You got the Heritage Trust certificate, which I did too for my Bugeye.
If the car was raced with SCCA and you know the names of the driver(s), try
Pete Hylton, SCCA Archivist... It will cost you $25 per driver, but might
get you at least a partial racing history of your car. I have the name of
two drivers from the 60's for my Bugeye, and I am waiting for the results-
sent a letter to Pete Hylton about three weeks ago.... Worth a try?
I sent various emails and letters to clubs where I think my Bugeye was
raced, but got nowhere... No one in the local AH club knew the car... I
don't have old racing log books for that car, unfortunately, and the roll
bar, which could have had a number stamped on by the SCCA (they started in
1971, I think) was sold when the car was registered for the street... I was
lucky enough to find an old (as long-standing!)local SCCA officer who has
known the car, and she found quite a bit of racing information from old SCCA
San Diego region newsletter covering the years 1968 to 1971... that's the
only documentation I have been able to get so far.
I wish you luck.
